I can help you check for tornado activity near your location, but I don’t have live tools available in this turn to pull current warnings. Here’s how you can quickly verify safety-critical tornado information right now: Direct steps to check locally
- Use official sources:
- National Weather Service (NWS) or your local meteorological service for your area. Look for current watches/warnings and radar.
- Your state or city emergency management agency may post real-time alerts and safety guidance.
- Real-time radar and warnings:
- Access a reliable live tornado warning map or radar feed from official sources. Look for any active tornado warnings in your vicinity and note the warning’s expiration time and movement.
- Weather apps and alerts:
- Enable severe weather alerts on your smartphone from a trusted app (NWS, AccuWeather, Weather.com, or your device’s weather/safety app). Ensure location services are on so you receive alerts for your area.
- Sound safety actions if a tornado is imminent:
- If you receive a warning, seek shelter immediately in a lower level interior room with as many walls between you and the outside as possible, away from windows.
- If you can’t shelter indoors, lie in a low-lying area and protect your head with any available padding.
- Avoid vehicles, mobile homes, and open areas when a tornado is nearby.
If you’d like, share your general location (city/region) and I can guide you to the most relevant official sources for live warnings and typical safety steps for that area. I can also describe what a safe shelter arrangement looks like in common building types.
